Frisco is a northern suburb of Dallas, which is about three hours from Austin or 3.5 hours from Houston. If you're ever flying through DFW (American Airlines hub), this is about 25 minutes from the airport if you can stretch out a layover to four or five hours. There's a lot more interesting stuff to do and see in Dallas/Fort Worth, like the real-life cowboy/cattle stockyards in Fort Worth and many other world class museums.

(Sales pitch: Texas is far more diverse than it is often portrayed: Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio are all in the top-ten largest cities in the United States.. Houston is the most diverse city in the nation[1] and #4 in size, projected to be #3 before the next census (behind NYC, LA, and Chicago), and all of them are artsy, cosmopolitan cities. There's enough to do in each of these cities to spend a few days checking out just the stuff that interests you, whether it be various art museums, symphony, opera, ballet, science, technology, space exploration, history, etc.)
